@sarobertson_ Being a politician is not a career. Terms limits are needed. Also prove yourself exceptional in another field 1st then run for office.

Tom Mulcair: "Poilievre is an outstanding Leader of the Opposition on the first part of the job, which is holding the government to account. On the other part of the job — showing himself capable of heading a government, showing that Conservatives are a government in waiting — they fall well short."

@petermansbridge @honjamesmoore @gmbutts @CanadaTalks167 Umm ... Alberta has a Conservative population. The majority of the rest of the country is more progressive. The solution is devolution.

Jason Kenney wants Canadians to speak out and show Albertans that being in Canada matters. Is he right and what does our past tell us about what needs to be done? @honjamesmoore & @gmbutts discuss. 🔊 on @CanadaTalks167, podcast platforms. 📺 on YouTube youtu.be/IRjVWW5T_zw?si…

@RPL2025127149 @MitchyGallo Not a victim mentality at all. I just don't want to have anything to do with 'merica. It'd be better if the two nations went their separate ways. I have nothing positive to say about tRumplandia and most of the world agrees.

@zephyrCAN @MitchyGallo That’s a victim mentality. The league cares about things that make the league strong all around.

Here are my three takeaways from Montreal’s 6-2 Game 3 victory over Buffalo, brought to you by Snap Bar Sportif in Rigaud. 1- Caufield capitalizes You can only hold elite goal scorers off the scoresheet for so long before they eventually break through, and we saw that a couple of times in Game 3. First it was Tage Thompson, who scored his first goal since Game 1 of Round 1 after looking dreadful through the first two games of this series. That goal started after a soft play by Cole Caufield, who tried to flip the puck into the neutral zone but instead turned it over. At that point, it looked like it might turn into another frustrating night for Caufield, who hasn’t exactly been getting much puck luck lately. Things didn’t improve when he missed a wide-open net from two feet away. After ringing one off the crossbar last game from the slot, it felt like more of the same was coming. Then Lane Hutson decided to take over. He danced through three Buffalo defenders and put the puck on a tee for Caufield, who buried the tap-in on the power play. Full credit to Hutson and the entire unit for recognizing the opportunity and attacking aggressively after Jordan Greenway broke his stick. Maybe that goal gets Caufield rolling again. At the very least, it’ll stop being a talking point for a couple of days. 2- Hutson does it all, again At this point, there’s not much left to say about Lane Hutson that hasn’t already been said. Every night, he’s Montreal’s best skater. And when he’s off, like he was in Game 1, the Canadiens don’t really have a chance. Buffalo had absolutely no answer for him in Game 3. At times, it looked like he was playing with cheat codes, doing whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted, every single shift. Hutson was terrific in the first round against Tampa Bay, however the style of play in this Buffalo series is much more conducive for him to shine. Time and space come at such a premium in the playoffs, especially against a heavy structured team like Tampa Bay. But through the first three games against Buffalo, there’s been much more room for Hutson to operate and he’s absolutely feasting. Everyone already knows how dynamic he is offensively, but people in Montreal also understand how good he is in every situation. The way he’s playing in the playoffs is only going to elevate his reputation further. There’s no reason he shouldn’t already be in the Norris Trophy conversation beyond the fact that he’s undersized. And playoff hockey hasn’t fazed him one bit. As he continues to evolve, he’ll eventually draw tougher matchups and more responsibility against top players. But right now, everything offensively for Montreal starts with Hutson. 3- Make them pay on the power play Montreal’s power play has been a little helter-skelter in the playoffs after such a strong regular season. That’s normal. Goals are harder to come by in the postseason, games tighten up, and teams become much more familiar with your tendencies over a seven-game series. But when the opposition takes reckless penalties, especially the kind that could potentially injure someone, there’s no better response than making them pay on the scoreboard. The perfect example was Juraj Slafkovsky’s goal that made it 4-1. Beck Malenstyn crashed into Jakub Dobes at full speed without making much of an effort to stop or even slow down. It was only called a two-minute penalty, but it was still the type of play that leaves everyone holding their breath. Those are the moments where you want revenge on the scoreboard, not with retaliation. Buffalo is going to have to clean up its discipline because Montreal’s power play is heating up. The Canadiens scored twice with the man advantage tonight, and every time that unit stepped onto the ice, it felt dangerous.

@RPL2025127149 @MitchyGallo I see a league that only cares about 'merica aka tRumplandia.

@zephyrCAN @MitchyGallo Power pays were 6 to 4 MTL. Give me a break. And yes it is textbook definition of conspiracy.

@sarobertson_ The Convoy Party are 'merican wannabes. They want the policies and politics of tRump here in Canada. This is their motivation for clinging to tRumplandia and not wanting diversification.

PM Carney: "Those whose politics is to destroy, to demolish, dismantle, they're not going to change their instincts. This is, in many respects, this is their moment. We can't match them by being timid imitations of them. We can't answer them by pining for an old order that's not going to return ... it can only be answered by positive action, by building that which comes next."

@RPL2025127149 @MitchyGallo Insider stuff happens everywhere. It's not victimhood or conspiracy it's human nature.

@zephyrCAN @MitchyGallo You people are perpetual victims. Don’t be.

@Imstilljon It's all about growing the $port $outh of the border.

Zach Bolduc falls on Lyon in the first period: 4 minutes Beck Malenstyn full tilt into Dobes: 2 minutes

@bruceanderson CONartists, they are desperate. They've been out of power for so long.

"in certain sectors".... why not debate the PM's argument (if you disagree with it) without misrepresenting it?

@bruceanderson Being a politician should not be a career. Term limits are needed for all political offices. I don't trust career politicians of any party.

A fellow with no accomplishments in 20 plus years in public life….

@erinotoole @RealMattA_ Dunning-Kruger

@RealMattA_ It is quite sad how fear and anger during the pandemic changed many people. My concern with social media is that the algorithm never lets them escape that fear and anger even years later.

Remember when Erin O'Toole, Conservative Party leader, encouraged everyone to get the Covid shot? He promoted the Astrazenica shot, which was quickly withdrawn from the market due to risk of blood clots. "It's safe!" Any apologies @erinotoole ? LOST FREEDOM FILES # 5122

@TashaKheiriddin @MarkJCarney But blatant US interference is not a problem for 'merican wannabes aka NP readers. NP is foreign interference.

EU blocking Chinese solar tech over security threat. But Canada is letting in 49,000 EVs from Beijing. Perhaps we should be European after all ;) @MarkJCarney dw.com/en/why-the-eu-…

@TashaKheiriddin @nationalpost The National Post is foreign interference.

Brussels or Washington? Carney’s made his choice clear @nationalpost nationalpost.com/opinion/tasha-…

@CTVNews It's a personal choice. I have friends boycotting others not. They're all still my friends.

Majority of Canadians still support boycotting U.S.: Nanos survey ctvnews.ca/canada/article…

@MarkJCarney One of our largest expenses should be prisons. I've had it with criminals.

Last night, three people were fired upon with a replica firearm outside Chasidei Bobov synagogue in North York in an abhorrent act of antisemitism, leaving one person injured. I am relieved to hear that an arrest has been made. Law enforcement agencies have my full support as they investigate, and as they work to bring justice for the victims and the wider Jewish community. Last year, we introduced new legislation to the strengthen the criminal code, combat hate, and protect our communities — and we remain absolute in Canada’s commitment to combatting the scourge of antisemitism and hate in all of its forms. Together, we will continue to build a country where all Jewish Canadians can live openly, freely, and safely.

@MarkJCarney Singapore has lower crime rates. What are they doing right? Can we implement any of the methods?

@petermansbridge @ChantalHbert @bruceanderson @CanadaTalks167 Asymmetrical federalism, devolution.

Jason Kenney says the federalist side is dragging its feet organizing for Alberta’s referendum. If that’s the case, why? @ChantalHbert & @bruceanderson discuss the increasingly messy Alberta story. 🔊 on @CanadaTalks167, podcast platforms. 📺 on YouTube youtu.be/5SfAD1Fj83E?si…

@petermansbridge @CanadaTalks167 The Random Ranter spoke about criminals. Singapore has a very low crime rate ... they cane criminals.

Inspired by one of our listeners: How do you spend time volunteering? We were rewarded with an incredible deluge of letters that inspired us, and in many ways tell a story of Canada 🇨🇦 🔊 on @CanadaTalks167 & podcast platforms at noon EST.

@sarobertsonca A divided nation will not stand.

Pierre Poilievre: The Prime Minister's answer on property rights is all an illusion. Mark Carney: Mr. Speaker, the only illusion is that this makeover is going to work any better than other makeovers.

@MitchyGallo Perhaps word the question differently.

And what purpose did the question really serve, other than to try to embarrass or make the people in charge look bad, before they’ve even had a day on the job? I guess you also get a viral clip out of it. That’s cool, in this era of “journalism” I guess… But here’s exhibit A of why so many fans have a negative sentiment about the media that covers sports. Please don’t paint us all with the same brush…
